Hi Everyone,

I am in contract to purchase a SFD in Oakland.  This could be my first deal that came out of a direct mail campaign.  I have yet to see the inside of the house.  The seller is willing to pay cash-for-keys so that the tenant will vacate prior to close of escrow.  (NOTE: long story as to why we need to do cash-for-keys, but the seller is paying).   Below is the letter I want to send the tenant, any feedback for anything I'm missing?  Any conditions I should add to protect myself?  Thanks for any input.

Dear [Name],

I am following up on our conversations regarding you vacating [Property]. 

Per your request, we are prepared to offer you $1,000.00 to help with your transition under the following terms:

• The property shall be completely vacated within 90 days of this signed agreement. To be vacant, the property must be empty of all personal belongings inside the house, the garage and anywhere else on the property.
• All standard fixtures shall remain with the home, including: refrigerator, stove/oven, dishwasher, laundry washer and dryer, lighting fixtures, bathroom and kitchen hardware.
• Upon execution of this agreement, [Name] shall allow Ori to do a preliminary walk-through inside the house and the property.
• At 90 days, [NAME] and Ori shall do a walk-through of the property to confirm that it has been vacated and no damage has been done since the preliminary walk-through. If the property meets those conditions, [NAME] shall sign a “release of rights to possession” (see attached page) and Ori shall hand him a $1,000.00 cashier check.

Sincerely Yours,

Ori
